Fluctuations in costs for essential components like steel, copper, and electricity directly affect suppliers' production expenses.  For instance, global steel prices saw considerable upward movement in early 2024, driven by supply chain disruptions and increased demand, which would naturally translate to higher input costs for Otis's suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtis, like other major players, must navigate these rising input costs. The global energy market's instability, exemplified by the Brent crude oil price averaging around $80 per barrel in the first half of 2024, further compounds these challenges.
